ROWFANT HOUSE IS SAVED!

The Directors and Staff of Rowfant House Ltd are delighted to announce that we have raised in excess of £1m through a private investor which will secure our business going forward and ensure all members of the community can continue to enjoy the delights of this beautiful place.

Rowfant Trading Ltd, our hospitality business, is now taking bookings with immediate effect for functions and the Christmas season. As a result of this investment, Rowfant Care Home’s future is also assured which comes as a huge relief to us all.

We would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincere thanks to all of those true “Friends of Rowfant” who have helped to make this possible – not least our very generous and supportive investor but also the many musicians and other performers who gave up their time for free to make the Rowfant Summer Sessions such a big success. Many loyal customers have also played a very special role in the saving of Rowfant House – you know who you are and we cannot thank you enough.

We look forward to welcoming you warmly back to Rowfant and to your participation in the next exciting phase of our journey. Watch this space!
